Contractions......

Something I learned from a tutor when he graded my Process Essay and thought it was interesting so I thought I'd pass it on:

"Don't use Contractions when writing a paper."

Examples:

Wrong Way

It's
Wasn't
He's
She's
They're

Right Way

It is
Was not
He is
She is
They are

  1. Thanks for the tip--Mine is clean of contractions. I'm having a tudor look it over today for organization, etc. See you on Saturday.
